Students:

The Beavers Charitable Trust (my professorship’s sponsor) is hosting a tour of the Sound Transit L200 project – part of the Lynnwood Link Extension for our light rail. This project is an $850 million rail project that extends from Northgate Station to North 200th Street in Shoreline. It includes 2 miles of aerial guideway over four bridges, three miles of at-grade guideway, two stations, and two parking garages. It is scheduled to open to service in 2024.

You get a chance to tour this project on October 29th. 

What: Tour of Sound Transit’s Lynnwood Link Light Rail Extension L200

When: Friday, October 29th from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Where: Meet on campus – we will take a luxury motorcoach to/from the job

Your hosts, The Beavers, as well as the Joint Venture of Stacy and Witbeck, Kiewit, and Hoffman will overview the project and then take you out on site. All three of these companies hire UW students from our department for internships and full-time jobs. This is a great chance to see an iconic infrastructure construction project.
